Juicy Seyeon’s camp says she took her partner’s sleeping pills during a conflict

Popular internet broadcaster Juicy Seyeon took a sleeping pill belonging to her partner during an escalating conflict, her legal representative said on Sept. 3. The medication contained zolpidem, a substance classified in South Korea as a psychotropic drug.

Seyeon’s legal representative, Myosu, said she was taken to an emergency room and treated after taking the medication. The statement denied that Seyeon had obtained the sleeping pills through an代理 prescription or played any role in securing them. It also firmly denied that she had illegally possessed or used narcotics or cannabis.

“今回事안은 교제 상대방과의 갈등이 격화된 상황에서 상대방이 소지한 수면제를 복용한 뒤 응급실로 이송돼 치료받은 일에서 비롯됐다,” the representative said. The statement added that Seyeon had not fully understood the legal implications and risks of taking another person’s sleeping medication. After receiving legal advice, she recognized her wrongdoing and deeply regretted it.

This case arose after she took sleeping medication belonging to her partner during an escalating conflict in their relationship, was taken to an emergency room and received treatment.

Seoul’s Gangnam Police previously booked Seyeon and her partner, fellow broadcaster BJ K, whose real name is Park Jung-gyu, without detention on July 30. They are being investigated on suspicion of taking a sleeping medication classified as a psychotropic drug. Seyeon’s side said she voluntarily appeared at a police station on Aug. 4 and submitted her medical-prescription and medication records.

Her representatives also rejected speculation that her recent hair bleaching was linked to the drug investigation. They said she changed her hairstyle on Aug. 25, about three weeks after voluntarily submitting hair samples, and that the change had nothing to do with the police probe. Seyeon, whose real name is In Se-yeon, has worked as a broadcaster and influencer since 2019 and disclosed her relationship with Park on YouTube in April.
